We
are the nurses of Frankfurt's oldest hospital. Our tradition can be traced back to the 13th century.
Today we are a professional nursing staff for a modern medical, surgical, gynecological and psychosomatic care of patients.
This mission statement represents the achievable ideal situation and our professional goal.
Here we demonstrate our understanding of nursing and we are on our way to achieving our goal.
Patients, their family and friends
We respect the dignity of and appreciate the patients.
The patient is the focal point of our actions.
Their social, cultural, religious and psychosocial needs are recognized and accepted.
It is our goal to advise and accompany the people who seek help in our clinic in order to support and assist in the healing process.
We inform, enlighten and plan our nursing according to modern nursing and medical understanding, but also goal oriented, efficiently and economically.
We care for patients according to individually prepared nursing plans and professional standards.
We stand by patients in all difficult life situations.
We accompany them and also their relatives in the last phases of life.
Colleagues and coworkers
We are actively committed to education and training as part of our tradition.
We contribute to the development of future professional nursing staff via our association with the Agnes Karll Schule training center.
We achieve the optimal care of our patients only through mutual cooperative work with associated professions. We accomplish this by good communication with each other.
Our attitude in contact with others within and outside of our hospital also influences the view of our profession in the public eye -- it is polite and considerate.
Goal
This nursing mission statement should provide orientation for nursing operations and be the foundation for nursing work in the Hospital zum heiligen Geist GmbH.
It provides orientation for behavior towards patients, relatives and friends, colleagues, coworkers and all other professional groups working in our hospital. It allows for the assessment of the nursing staff's attitude.
Self image
We see nursing as a professional service, but also feel committed to our 800 year tradition in nursing
"as hospital serving our fellow man"
obligated to tradition.
We actively participate in the process of change and influence the future of the Hospital zum heiligen Geist.
